The Baldovinos have a passion to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord & Savior and to know God intimately. For the past ten years they have been leading evangelistic outreaches with Impact World Tour, a ministry of YWAM.
Antonio was born in Honduras, Central America and moved to Minnesota, United States in 1984 where he met his wife Christelle. Christelle grew up in Minnesota, United States. Together with their five children, they have lived and evangelized in New Zealand, India, Colombia, throughout the United States and now reside in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. They have seen tens of thousands come to the Lord, which is one of their greatest passions.
In June 2008 Antonio had a powerful encounter with the Lord and a Joel 2 mandate to "blow the trumpet, call a sacred assembly and gather as many people as possible" was given. The call was to a lifestyle of prayer, fasting and rendering of our hearts & lives to the Lord for ourselves, and to impact regions, cities and nations.
This mandate has expanded their vision to call people to a lifestyle of prayer and to intimacy with God. It is this passion that brought them to establish the Global Prayer House (GPH) Missions Base. The Prayer House is built on Isaiah 56:7, “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations”. They believe that God is raising up Houses of Prayer for the nations & whether that mission is in marketplace, church, worship, or in developing nations, the Lord is leading His church to serve from the place of prayer! They have called many people to prayer with night & day prayer meetings and will continue to increase this vision.
Antonio & his wife Christelle have five beautiful children; four boys and one girl and they are passionate about loving God, seeing God move in power and seeing lives transformed!
